Our company is working on a locally hosted PHP web-server that connects with our local Sage 100 instance for our internal use. So far it's working pretty well, but it takes about 10 seconds to open up a session in Sage 100 with the BOI and execute a script. We've been able to use MySQL mirroring to mitigate this, so our read speeds are effectively instant. But if we want to write to Sage, (create a Purchase Order, edit an inventory item, etc.) it takes about 10 seconds to process. Our theory is that if we preserve the ProvideX object within a session, then it won't have to reestablish a connection to the Sage BOI every time the page is refreshed, and therefore won't take as long to process, sort of like what you can do with a MySQL connection.

Is it possible to preserve the session so that it is persistent, and doesn't need to be re-established between the user navigating pages? If not, is there anything that can be done to improve the connection speed so employees aren't waiting 10 seconds every time they create/edit a PO?
